History

I mixed these two ingredients together just to ascertain where to go from there when creating a drink with Italicus. Then do I add a dash of maraschino, curaçao or bitters? I tried numerous liqueurs and bitters but I like the simplicity of this two ingredient cocktail. Now try it with gin – yup, Gin & It also works well. Later, the same mixing session also gave birth to For Sake's Sake.

I liked the original mix well enough, but found it too sweet. A judicious amount of dry vermouth helped tame the sweetness, without changing too much the essential flavour of the original.
